Today, November 8, 2026, traffic on the Northern Bridge in Kyiv is partially restored. This decision was made after a technical inspection of the structure, which revealed the possibility of resuming traffic with certain restrictions.
New Traffic Regulations
Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko announced the new traffic regulations for the Northern Bridge:
- From the left bank to the right bank — one lane only for passenger transport.
- From the right bank to the left bank — two lanes for buses and passenger cars.
These restrictions are implemented to ensure the safety of drivers and pedestrians, as well as to control the load on the bridge.
Restoration of Bus Services
With the restoration of traffic on the Northern Bridge, bus services are also returning. This will improve transportation accessibility between the city's districts, which is especially important given the current situation.
Future Plans
Additionally, specialists are working on implementing reversible traffic on the Paton Bridge in the coming days. This decision aims to increase the bridge's capacity, which will help reduce traffic jams and improve the overall transportation situation in the capital. Details about the organization of reversible traffic will be communicated later through the official channels of the city authorities.
